The present book tries to show that without reading about Virginia Woolf´s life, one could not understand well the message of her work. Woolf uses her diary to create a rather fictional work and her novels to create a sort of autobiography- there are many things in the novels that have a correspondent in her life. Her diary is a kind of fictional work, while her novels are turned into a kind of diary. We can easily find her parents in To the Lighthouse- she even admits it.We can "build" Thoby´s image from the novel Jacob´s Room and we can find "the perfect human being" that, as i have tried to show, could be Woolf in The Waves.This book tries to demonstrate that a good mastering of Virginia Woolf´s life is the most important step in the reader´s attempt to understand the messages she is conveying in her novels.
